Spontaneous Mutation: Real-Time in Living Cells
A new study provides the first direct visualization of DNA replication errors as they become mutations in living cells. After decades of post-hoc inference of mutation rates and mechanisms, a new method opens the possibility of cell-, tissue- and cancer-clone-specific mutation-rate detection and real-time visualization of transient hypermutable states in situ.
متن کاملWatching real-time endocytosis in living cells
The precise sequence of events promoting clathrin-coated vesicle assembly is still debated. In this issue, Kadlecova et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201608071) test structural models using quantitative microscopy in living cells to investigate the hierarchy and temporal importance of molecular events required for clathrin-coated pit initiation.
متن کاملReal-time imaging of histone H4 hyperacetylation in living cells.
To visualize histone acetylation in living cells, we developed a genetically encoded fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based indicator. Response of the indicator reflects changes in the acetylation state of both K5 and K8 in histone H4. Using this acetylation indicator, we were able to monitor the dynamic fluctuation of histone H4 acetylation levels during mitosis, as well as acetyla...
متن کاملReal time visualization of protein kinase activity in living cells.
A library of fluorescently labeled protein kinase C (PKC) peptide substrates was prepared to identify a phosphorylation-induced reporter of protein kinase activity. The lead PKC substrate displays a 2.5-fold change in fluorescence intensity upon phosphorylation. PKC activity is readily sampled in cell lysates containing the activated PKCs. Immunodepletion of conventional PKCs from the cell lysa...
متن کاملReal time imaging reveals a peroxisomal reticulum in living cells.
We have directly imaged the dynamic behavior of a variety of morphologically different peroxisomal structures in HepG2 and COS-7 cells transfected with a construct encoding GFP bearing the C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal 1. Real time imaging revealed that moving peroxisomes interacted with each other and were engaged in transient contacts, and at higher magnification, tubular peroxisome...
